Brazil. One of the most mythical countries in Formula 1. birthplace of Ayrton senna, legendary driver and three-time world champion, and home to a track where not a few World Championships have been decided as well as unforgettable races. That is where F1 is already, and that is where the penultimate round of the championship will take place.
Little to be decided in question who will be the champion. The reason, the overwhelming superiority of Max Verstappen during 2022. The Red Bull, intractable. The Dutchman, winner in Japan with four tests remaining to finish the World Cup.
Verstappen, to continue adding records
Two are left to go, and they are yet another opportunity for him to expand your record-breaking record, that make him already the driver with the most victories within the same championship. Little can be said beyond that.
The pole thing is another story, because One lap Ferrari is competitive. In a long run it is another story, because his first starting positions have practically never turned into triumphs in this course.
At stake is still, for them, both the runner-up in drivers such as the constructors. In the first, it is a Leclerc against Pérez. Checo is taking advantage of the car, and he’s getting strong in these last few races. As for teams, the duel is with Mercedes.
Those of the star have made enormous progress in this stage of the World Cup. So much so that I already know come to fight for pole positions and for victories. At the moment, zero wins and Hamilton being able to close the course as his only season without success.
Two more… and Alonso to Aston Martin
But that fight at the beginning of the championship is no more. The fight with the middle zone, one in which Alpine wants to come first. Despite all the abandonments of Fernando Alonso due to mechanical issues, and sanctions derived from the poor reliability of its power unit, the Gauls have in favor that in McLaren only Lando Norris seems to be.
The Spaniard is two weekends away from closing his relationship with the French. This year, he dropped out up to five due to power problems. In Mexico, worrying as well as grotesque was everything that happened with his engine and with the radio.
Aston-Martin appears more and more in Alonso’s near future. The British continue to have their short runs in the ‘must’, and are fighting to be sixth in the World Cup.
Hours and where to watch
We will have to see how each one acts in a classification that will be this Friday because Brazil is one of the tracks chosen for the sprint. Everything will start at 20:00 Spanish peninsular time, one hour less in the Canary Islands, and it can be seen live on ‘DAZN’.
